An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…

He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil—he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good—he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”

The Elder simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Awhhh, I meeess you Jay !

When I look in the mirror, I can’t help but to point out all of my flaws and imperfection. Starting from my appearance, leading to my personality, and ending with tears rolling down my cheeks. I can’t help but feel like I’m not good enough, and start believing that no one would love a person like me. You know what hurts the most? When you smile and tell yourself, “I’m okay,” as you let those tears fall freely. It’s really painful.

I’ve had people tell me to stay strong, or people telling me that I’m one of the strongest person that they know. I’m really glad that they see me that way, and it encourages me to be stronger. Tbh, I feel like I’m a weak person. I’m just good at covering it up, since people see me as a confident and positive person. I’m just strong at handling things since I’m so used to it. Whatever you go through makes you come out stronger, right?

I love having late night group chats. Staying up just to talk the night away with the people you’re close to. Time flies by until you see the sky lit up and you watch as the sun rise. Feeling like they’re actually beside you instead of having a screen split you all apart. 
I’ve been starting to have those late night group chats again. My mood has lightened up so much. Having 2 people there to make you forget all of your worries, and being able to share laughs and smiles. It’s not common to have a late night group chat, but it’s one of those moments where you’re just able to be real. Bring out that happiness that has been awaiting to be shown, and to just be yourself.

I don’t know why, but I’ve always been attracted to the crimson color. Out of all colors, I think it’s the most beautiful and alluring color. I think that’s one of the reasons why I’m so attracted to roses. It just gives you a heartwarming feeling and an attractive aura that can deceive anyone. 

I find it annoying how people would overuse the phrase, “Fuck my life.” 
I rarely use that phrase, but I’d like to take the time now to say fml. I’m tired sick of everything. It’s okay, put on a smile and think positive. It’s easier to count all of the good things about you then the bad.

Have you ever been through that phase where you’re just tired? Tired of life? Your body won’t cooperate, you feel like you shouldn’t make an effort, and you just feel like a sloth? You just feel like a living dead person who has given up on everything, and you feel like you don’t have any energy left in you to move on. You build walls around you until you find something to break it down, and you put up a cold front with every person who walks in your life? Waiting for days, months, or years ‘til you gain all of that energy back and to get out of that phase. Then after a couple of years, it repeats all over again and you go through that same phase.
